Using Third-Party Material in your Paper
You must obtain the necessary permission to reuse
third-party material in your article.
It is customary in academic publishing that the reproduction
of short extracts of text and some other types of material may be permitted on
a limited basis for the purposes of criticism and review without securing
formal permission (’fair use’), on the basis that:
·
the purpose of quotation or use is objective and
evidenced scholarly criticism or review (not merely illustration);
·
a quotation is reproduced accurately, either
within quotation marks or as displayed text;
·
full attribution is given.
If you wish to include any material in your paper which may
not be covered by ‘fair use’ for which you do not hold copyright, you will need
to obtain written permission from the copyright owner prior to submission to
reproduce any content, especially image content, in your article. You should
also acknowledge and attribute the third party in your article. When content is
not copyrighted, that is, when it is held in the public domain, you must still
attribute it properly.
Please refer to the Publishers Association permission guidelines and The Copyright Hub for further assistance.
When you are asking permission to reproduce any kind of
third-party material from rightsholders, please ask for the following:
·
non-exclusive rights to reproduce the item
within your article in 1884 targeted at a specialist academic readership
with a defined circulation;
·
print and electronic rights for the full term of
copyright and any extensions of copyright to facilitate reproduction of the
material in the journal’s print and online editions – we cannot publish
third-party material using a time-limited license;
·
worldwide English- and/or Welsh-language
distribution rights;
·
if an image, 300 dpi minimum resolution. (Please refer to specific
instructions for authors for more details.)
If you are not sure if permission is needed, please consult
the editors. You will need to allow several weeks or even months for permission
requests, so it is advisable to begin this process as early as possible. Please
also refer to our FAQs below, which include guidance on special cases.
Publication Charges
There are no submission fees, publication fees or page
charges for this journal.
Colour figures will be reproduced in colour in your online
article free of charge. If it is necessary for the figures to be reproduced in
colour in the print version, please advise the editors of this. We recommend
you use colour images for the print version of your article as sparingly as
possible, since colour print drives up production costs for the printed version
of 1884.
Copyright and Open Access
1884 publishes all contributions in ‘platinum’ open
access. Your contribution will be published both in print and online under a non-revocable
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0
International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) Creative Commons License. This means
your article will be made available immediately without any limitations imposed
on you (or any other party) to reuse it, as long as it is shared alike and the
reuse remains non-commercial. There are no article publishing charges (APC) to
make an article open access.
Authors’ copies
1884 strives to provide a free author’s print copy of
the issue of the journal in which your article was published to all its
authors. However, please note that we are only able to provide one free
author’s print copy per article. Thus, if your article was multi-authored and
you wish to receive additional print copies of the issue of 1884 in
which your article was published, you will need to order these and will be
charged for each additional print copy ordered (at a reduced rate for 1884
authors).
Article offprints
If you are the corresponding author of an article published
in 1884, you will automatically receive an electronic offprint (pdf) of your
article as published (‘version of record’). It is the responsibility of
corresponding authors to share this electronic offprint with their co-authors. 1884
does not produce traditional (hardcopy) offprints.
Queries
Should you have any queries, please contact the
journal’s editors at editor.1884@rkarl.org.
